We have been enjoying some wonderful learning opportunities with field trips. This year we have loved the trips to the Huntington Library. The museum and gardens are incredible! Our trip to Sea World was fun and very educational too. But our last field trip was hard to beat. John and I, the kids, and our homeschooling friends took the train to San Diego. After a very fun train ride, we hopped on a trolley and visited the Mormon Battalion. Quite a few of our friends joined us. What a beautiful place! The kids were all enthralled by the history and presentation. If you haven't seen this place I recommend it highly. After the short film, tour, pictures, dress up for kids wanting to be soldiers or washer women, and actual panning for fools gold, we walked through Old Town SD.
Finally after much walking and exploring we boarded the train for the trip home. The way home was as entertaining as the ride there. We are train fans! It was an exciting happy and exhausting day.

How fun Mandy! It looks like they've added things since we went. We used to love going there on Saturdays and then walking around Old Town. Did you see the Mexican restaurant with the tortilla stand out front? There used to be a sweet old lady making strawberry, cinnamon and plain tortillas and they were the BEST!
